This is insane.

Have you seen this? The latest offering from Taurus...

http://www.taurususa.com/2011newcatalog/?catalog_page=6

OK... some brass hulls, some .550" cast boolits, and I'm in. :mrgreen:

[pincherpartner]

Maybe a 4 shot 20 gauge or 3 shot 12 will be next? :bigsmyl2:

[Frosty Boolit]

Wow that thing is heavy, 67oz's.

[Frosty Boolit]

There is already a 12 ga. 5 shot revolver that has a shoulder stock on it and I'll bet that the stock can be removed......

[Nobade]

Ya gotta hand it to Taurus, they're not afraid to try new stuff even if it is kind of silly. Now that 28ga. loaded with Magtec brass hulls, bullets, and black powder would be fun at our local revolver matches!! I'll let somebody else buy one though.

[Shooter6br]

From Green Hornet movie

[NoZombies]

I would play with that.

I wonder how they're getting past the NFA classification though?

[white eagle]

cant wait to see the 1911 12 ga

[white eagle]

From Green Hornet movie
how would you measure groups for that ?[smilie=w:

[Old Ironsights]

how would you measure groups for that ?[smilie=w:
I'm more interested in the "Y-Top" magazine to feed both those slides...

[boommer]

I'm thinking SKEET !!! anyone ?

[stubshaft]

Tape measure!:veryconfu

"I WANT"

Is this the vendor-sponsor section?:bigsmyl2:

[Good Cheer]

Taurus screwed up. They shoulda made it a percussion to take .53 round ball.

[pdawg_shooter]

Yard stick?

[Johnch]

How is it legal ?

I thought the max dia of a pistol or rifle round was a nominal 50 cal

That is why you need non destructive device paperwork for a 600 Nitro Express rifle and the fun toys JDJ is making

John

[Nobade]

shotguns are exempt. That's why the 12ga FH is legal. It fits a 12ga. boltface, so it's a 12ga. right?

[Mk42gunner]

To be legal the barrel would have to be rifled, like T/C did with some of the Contenders; therefore patterns wil be donut shaped.

This is probably the first time in history that the 28 Ga. has been described as having Massive Firepower.

[imashooter2]

The latest rumor is that BATFE is going to deny "sporting purpose" status for this one...

[Combat Diver]

Don't think its legal as ATF pulled it from the SHOT show Thursday/Friday. Same with the .410 Mares Leg pistol.

CD

[NoZombies]

What pistol are you referring to, Re; the "mares leg, .410"?

I know that the 410 handguns get around the DD thing by being rifled and chambering .45 colt, but I have no idea how they'd do that with a 28 Ga, as it's over .5" bore.

[Jim]

Either Taurus knows something about ATF regs that nobody else does or they're just complete idiots.

[Ziptar]

Truly Insane..... :shock: Smith & Weston's .410 Double Trouble Autoloader (http://www.realguns.com/articles/275.htm)

:wink:

[Jim]

Right.

[scb]

Taurus is an international corporation. While the US may be their largest, I'm sure we are not their only market. While ATFE may think they rule the world they really don't. Having a weapon pulled from the Shot Show by anti-gun bureaucrats, you can buy that kind of advertising.

Shooting 500 grain gas checked cast bullets, .45 Colt accuracy was exceptional with groups consistently under an inch at three hundred yards.

Can I raise the BS flag :veryconfu

[skimmerhead]

that is a cool gun. i'd love to give her a dance!

It's total BS, I think it was last year's April fool joke.

You really need to read the whole article, it's Hilarious! This is like the Onion writing for Shotgun News.

A .54 cap and ball revolver, loaded with Buffalo Bullets, you might be onto something there.

[Hickory]

JUST IN;
Taurus is withdrawing manufacturing of this revolver!!

i want one.
i dont care about the 4-10 but a .45l.c. autoloader sounds fun.

heres a quote for ya.



the original system would lead to the whole gun explodacatin'.

[Old Ironsights]

It's total BS, I think it was last year's April fool joke.

As identified by (other than the mechanical impossibility) these bits (besides explodicatin):


Warren Whippet, S&W's VP of Sales and Markup


S&W's VP of Product Names and Employee Parking Space Assignments


G. Gas Rhonda, S&W's Director of Advanced Gas Port Logistical Engineering

etc. ;)

[.243 okie]

Nice one!! Yeah legality would be in question on this one without the ATF paperwork to go with it...

[bowfin]

Some have conjectured that Taurus knew it wouldn't get past the BATmen, but they made one anyway just to yank Smith&Wesson's chain for coming out with a six shot Judge clone.

It would be hard to get anyone enthusiastic about a six shot .410 when the guy down the aisle is flashing around a five shot 28 gauge.

Me, I like my shotguns much more "traditional", but I applaud giving everybody a choice.

[NVScouter]

I still think if they "Created" a 52Taurus Round (28 slug in brass hull) it could fly. Especialy if the teaser entices enough interest.

[Olevern]

I would play with that.

I wonder how they're getting past the NFA classification though?

they didn't do their homework, apparently, 'cause they were informed at the shot show by the Feds they can't make it in it's current configuration (smooth bore)

[MtGun44]

BS on the 'double autoloader', fancy photoshop job is my bet.

As to the 28 ga Taurus revolver. I grinned and shook my head at
the Judge in .410. With this it is a LOL and wonder if they are
really serious.

As to ATF being idiots - is that supposed to be sarcasm? ;-)

[9.3X62AL]

BATFE, being their usual Skunk At A Garden Party selves. Whatta bunch of fun-sucking pogues.

I'm not in the market for a 28-bore revo, but what the heck.

[imashooter2]

they didn't do their homework, apparently, 'cause they were informed at the shot show by the Feds they can't make it in it's current configuration (smooth bore)

So what do you suppose would happen if they rifled it one turn in 30 feet?

[S.R.Custom]

Wouldn't make any difference. It's got a bore size larger than 1/2".

[NSP64]

The whole "is it legal" thing gets me cranked up but I must admit I have no use for or desire to own one these Taurus freakguns.

I agree but I also think that about owning a .500 S&W.

[500bfrman]

so the gun is "illegal". so says the atf. hmmm. let freedom ring.

[bobthenailer]

Years ago if you told someone you were using a 410 shotgun for self defence or home protection , they would no doubt ask why not a 20,16 or 12 ga ? in todays world put a 410 in a revolver that looses about 400 fps over a shotgun length barrel so velocity is really 800 to 850 fps and its fantastic !! the only reason i can think of is now they think dont have to pratice just point in the general direction and after all it is a shotgun .
